12 Apocalyptically Annoying Zombies From 'The Walking Dead'

WARNING: Spoilers ahead!

The Walking Dead has left fans screaming in terror and mourning throughout the last three seasons. The show hooks you in with characters and suspense that are as infectious as a zombie virus. One bite from the show, and you just can't stop.

As much as the zombies can scare your skin off when they pop out of nowhere, many will leave you screaming at the screen out of frustration. Whether they're killing off your favorite character or making a mess of things with their carelessness, these zombies can be profoundly annoying.

Check out these zombies that are an apocalyptic pain in the neck — and not just from the biting.

1. The zombie with only half a body.

Remember this girl? She tried to claw her way through Rick in the pilot episode. #rude

Her scheme to kill off the main character before the series even began might not have worked as she hoped, but you can't say she didn't get your heart racing a little.

2. The zombie placed in Glenn's holding cell.

This zombie contributed to one of the most suspenseful scenes of season three. He also almost really screwed things up psychologically for fans watching.

Glenn went through enough torture to keep the rest of the group's location a secret from Merle. This walker was like a boss level, except your hands are bound to a chair, which also happens to be your only weapon.

3. The Governor's "former" daughter, Penny.

All kids fight with their parents -- but Penny played too many mind games with her father. The Governor is annoying and he's not even dead, so when we're defending him, you know it's bad.

Sure, Phillip was simply not ready to let his daughter go, but she wasn't helping either. Instead, she got all agro when he tried to brush her hair. Then she tried to rip his throat in the literal zombie way, not the choking-dad-with-teen-angst way.

4. The zombified version of Jenny Jones, who went all Donner Party on her son.

Mothers give their children tough love. Zombie mothers forget about the love part.

After falling to the walkers, Jenny Jones in zombie form attacked her son, Duane. Unable to bring himself to kill his own mother, Duane succumbs to the bite. If that wasn't gut-wrenching enough, Jenny left her husband Morgan mentally unstable after witnessing the entire thing and leaving him no choice but to kill her.

5. The zombie that used to be Milton.

This is actually a deleted scene, in case you are wondering how Milton actually takes a bite into one of the last Atlanta survivors. (You know, in case the flesh wounds of season three's finale haven't healed yet.)

Milton spent the entire episode preventing the inevitable for Andrea, and stillmanaged to blow it. All in the name of Milton's selfish love for zombie science.

10. The zombie that went ham on Lori's corpse.

Lori knew a caesarean left her choosing either her life or the baby's. Regardless, this gluttonous zombie was totally "that guy."

You know, that guy that you didn't invite to the party, but he'll show up anyway, and eat all of the snacks and annoy all the attendees to the point of fleeing the host. In this case, Lori was kind of the party snack.

11. The zombie with no bathroom etiquette.

No one likes being interrupted in the bathroom, and no one likes when a character who breaks the tension and happens to have a really great relationship with her sister dies.

This zombie managed to strike out on all accounts, coming out of left field and taking a chunk of Amy's shoulder. Not to mention leaving her sister an emotional wreck for years and/or seasons to follow.
